One more? Okay. '03 with 28,000 miles, two-up (350 pounds of people), hard bags on and loaded, tank bag and tail pack loaded, windshield at about 4/5ths, running 85-87.5 octane cheap grade, tires 40-42 psi front and rear, synth blend in the crankcase, synth in the final drive: 70-85 mph straightline cruising - 45-48 mpg; fun pace on winding two-lane - 43-46; wringing it out with lots of throttle and revs up and down mountain passes (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming) - 40-44. Highest - 50 mpg; lowest - 39. And that's a fact, Jack.

Bought this in January '03 with 1,300 miles on it and not a scratch for $9K. Best damned deal I've ever made for the best bike I've ever ridden (though the old CBR-XX was a blast!).
